Not far from the forest, a tall dark man is sitting atop a building. In his sight are three people and two moving trees. [B]"Hahaha! I found some~"[/B] He had been lying in wait near the shrine of Ome, thinking that sooner or later, he would spot a heir or two.. and here they are. [B]"Now then... let's continue the fun!"[/B] Raising his scythe, he slashed it down and next an explosion in the forest occurred. [B]"Burn! BURN! HAHAHAHA! Come and show them the face of Nightmare!"[/B] The forest had started to burn down and for some reason, it seemed to have formed a trail. The fire was spreading towards the group with the ents.

All of a sudden, an explosion occurred and this gave a bad feeling to Nikko. He could sense the trees turning into ashes. Thinking about the same thing that he sensed earlier, he knew this wouldn't be good. Nudging the ents, he shouted [B]"Run! Something is coming!"[/B] he told the two. The dying trees that he was sensing were slowly getting closer, he's sure that whatever's causing the fire is headed to them. But where should they run to? For now... [B]"Harashi! Can we head to the nearest shrine instead..?!"[/B] If they are just around Ome, Nikko's shrine should be near here, specifically [B]"Southwest... Let's head southwest to Hinohara! My family's shrine is there..!"[/B] he told the group.
